2. Consign

If you're happy to go ahead with selling your items, we can offer advice on the best way to accept them for sale. You are welcome to drop in agreed consignments Monday to Friday 10.00 – 17.00 and for larger consignments we can assist with collection arrangements as well as offer recommendations for trusted local companies for house clearances.

On accepting your items we will give you a receipt and enter them into the next most suitable sale. 

3. Let Us Do The Rest

Once you consign an item to us, that is when our work really begins because we don’t just sell your items, we maximise their potential. That may involve further, in depth research, telling their story and carefully cataloguing them to gain maximum international exposure.

In an image savvy world, presentation is key, and we pride ourselves on the professional photography of items to show them off in their best possible light.

And the job is not finished there, we work tirelessly to ensure our specialist sales and items are presented to the right eyes and the widest possible audience. Every sale has a social media and press release campaign with our auction house and forthcoming sales featuring at a national and local level.

Reaching a global market through Live Internet Buying

Through the-saleroom.com, easyliveauctions.com and our own website platform, our auctions are relayed across the world through the internet and it is possible for potential purchasers to bid on-line. It is also possible for bidders to leave commission bids for the auctioneers to bid on their behalf or to bid over the telephone.

Seller Charges

Our rates are amongst the most competitive in the South West. 

We charge a commission rate of 15% together with an insurance fee of 1.5% taken from the hammer price of each lot and a lotting fee of £5. (All charges are subject to VAT).

There is no charge for unsold lots.

There are no additional charges for cataloguing, photography and advertising.

Our Auction Rooms - a great place to sell

Our smart and highly accessible auction rooms are set in the beautiful Somerset countryside of the Mendip Hills. Situated at Rookery Farm, just off the A37 linking Bristol with Yeovil, the rooms are well placed between the Cathedral City of Wells, the Georgian City of Bath and the Metropolitan hub of Bristol

There is plenty of parking and our friendly staff are on hand to answer any questions potential buyers may have.

Also, on site is the popular Hartleys Cafe and a range of shops. There is plenty to see and do on auction days and it is possible to eat and drink in the Lookout Café overlooking the saleroom and watch the sale in progress. With such a great destination, our auctions attract many potential purchasers.
